Alan writes: “The Brew House micro-brewery can be found inside the Crowne Plaza Hotel in downtown Shenzhen. It offers a very limited number of beers including Pilsner, Wheat & Dark ales. The dark beer is pretty palatable and is served in a stone beer mug similar to what you see in traditional German breweries. Atmosphere is pretty non-descript and many of the clients are visitors from overseas. Also on offer is a bottled beer collection from around the world. Overall, very much a micro, microbrewery but a welcome surprise if you don’t want to drink San Miguel, Tiger or Tsingtao beers all the time while visiting Shenzhen.”

The brewery’s own site adds: ‘The Brew House has an electric blue lighting theme outside with highlights of this blue taken inside too. There are 4 seating zones/ styles for the comfort of everyone – Formal seating at a table; Relaxing lounge seating in the “sung” on brightly colored sofas; Stools around the microbrewery bar; Stools and standing room outside in the urban beer garden. Enjoy our handcrafted beers under the stars on our über chic beer garden whilst listening to great music with friends. We also serve a full bar of other drinks and a snack menu.’
